Chapter 753 - 360: Demon Tree’s Core, Demon and Fiend Attack the Formation [Revised]

Chapter 753: Chapter 360: Demon Tree’s Core, Demon and Fiend Attack the Formation [Revised]

Others may not know, but he has long been aware of the Spiritless Death Secret Realm Cave Heaven from Lin Yingyun Mountain.

In his view, if Longteng Liyi hadn’t accidentally entered there, it would have been impossible for him to die at the hands of the Lu Family Corpse Ancestor.

The Jinhua Evil-Slaying Divine Thunder is indeed formidable.

The Longteng Family’s millennia of foundation is even more so.

Thus, his primary objective remains array breaking, killing the million Spirit Suppressing Army, and accelerating the complete formation of the Demon Realm.

Once the Demon Realm is fully formed, even if the Domain Lord of the West Mountain Floating Domain arrives, he would be helpless.

Of course.

This is merely hypothetical.

The truth is that the Domain Lord of the West Mountain Floating Domain cannot divert his attention to the Celestial Yin Mountain Range.

Compared to the Demon Realm, that Domain Lord has bigger problems.

...

To the north of the Celestial Yin Mountain Range lies a Tier Three Yin Vein, where thousands of demons densely gather around the Yin Vein within a hundred miles. And when the Demon Realm spreads again, thousands of demons swiftly congregate around a humanoid Great Demon.

This Great Demon has eight wings on its back, stands ten feet tall, and floats a hundred feet in the air, its realm has reached Tier Three Upper Realm.

It is the lord of the demon race in the Celestial Yin Mountain Range.

Celestial Demon!

Below it, many Tier Three Great Demons gather, but at this moment, their gazes fix firmly on one place.

Soon.

A Startled Swan swift swoops in, rapidly halting.

The person arriving is Li Lai.

"You alone still dare to challenge us!" The Celestial Demon spoke coldly as countless demons beneath roared angrily.

Li Lai remained expressionless, and after a few breaths, he smiled coldly, "Celestial Demon, you have reached the end of the road. However, the Branch Master is merciful and sends me to convey that you have two choices: extinction or temporarily serving us."

Celestial Demon fell silent.

Silent for a long time.

Seemingly struggling internally.

...

Five thousand miles north of the Celestial Demon race, in another Tier Three Yin Vein.

Thirty to forty thousand Spirit Suppressing Army retreated into the Yin Vein, gaining temporary respite with the support of a Tier Three Array. However, more than half of the thirty to forty thousand Spirit Suppressing Army were severely injured, some corroded by Demonic Qi, and others wounded by Demon Cultivators.

"Brother!"

A cry of alarm laid an additional layer of gloom on the Spirit Suppressing Army’s already low spirits.

Many followed the cry only to see a Qi Cultivation Perfection Cultivator rushing towards a Foundation Establishment Spirit Suppressing Army member who had succumbed after painful struggle from Demonic Qi invading his bones, but was held tightly by others.

"With your cultivation, if you’re tainted by Demonic Qi, you’ll die faster." Others held him tightly while angrily warning.

The Qi Cultivation Perfection Cultivator understood this, so he collapsed to the ground with tears streaming down silently, whispering, "My brother spent half his life barely reaching Foundation Establishment... He even said he would use battle achievements to get me a Foundation Establishment Pill..."

Listening to his whispers, other cultivators’ faces revealed slight ripples, but only slightly.

Because surrounded are unhealable, severely injured friends.

Meanwhile, the only Golden Core Cultivator in the Yin Vein gradually withdrew his gaze, and with a sigh, murmured, "Fortunately, Nangong Divine General has prepared in advance, with a giant array for temporary protection. Though it won’t last long, it should hold until reinforcements arrive, preventing everyone from being lost in this Celestial Yin Mountain Range."

He no longer watched the severely injured, wailing Spirit Suppressing Army members; not only could he not help them, but the fate of cultivators inherently carried the possibility of perishing if not strong.

Even for him, surviving this is uncertain.

Suddenly.

Two powerful auras rapidly and openly approached from hundreds of miles away, causing his face to change drastically.

Demon Cultivator.

Creature.

Both are Late Stage of Golden Core equivalents!

"Damn!"

At this moment, infinite despair arose in him.

But when he saw a demon and a creature directly passing over the Yin Vein without stopping, he relaxed, collapse with relief to the ground. When he looked down his hand, he found it shaking uncontrollably without realizing it.

"That aura... seems to be from the Celestial Demon race in the Celestial Yin Mountain Range... Only the Celestial Demon Lord is a Tier Three Upper Realm Great Demon in the Celestial Yin Mountain Range." In the next moment, his eyes widened in shock, "Demon and creature together, isn’t it..."

Realizing the worsening situation in the Celestial Yin Mountain Range, he promptly used the Communication Stone to contact Deng Lai.

After receiving the message, Deng Lai’s expression also changed, but just as he consulted his subordinates, another message arrived soon. A demon and a creature had crossed another Tier Three Yin Vein.

"Demon alliance, could they be coming for us?" A Golden Core Cultivator spoke worriedly.

Deng Lai didn’t respond, focused on guarding the array’s core.

Yet.

Two or three hours later, another message came.

Same news.

"Could it be..."

Even Deng Lai grew secretly anxious.

By half a day later, when news arrived from the Tier Three Yin Vein in the southern Celestial Yin Mountain Range, his last remnant of wishful thinking was wholly eliminated. Just as they feared, it was targeting Cold Pool Mist Valley.

Specifically, it aimed for the main array core.

Crossing Tier Three Yin Veins all along, clearly intentional, but the intent wasn’t toward them, rather the Lu Family Corpse Ancestor. After all, currently only the Lu Family Corpse Ancestor maintains the array core.

"Damn."

Deng Lai hurriedly withdrew from the array but didn’t go to the Cold Pool first; instead, he found a place in the Fog Valley to use the Celestial Secret Infinite Sound Transmission Technique. He worried if he went to the Cold Pool, the Lu Family Corpse Ancestor wouldn’t agree to guard the array.

Given ordinary Golden Core Zhenren don’t know the Celestial Demon Lord’s power, but he knows, and the Late Stage Golden Core Lu Family Corpse Ancestor surely does.

It’s a presence stronger than the Divine General, otherwise how could the Celestial Yin Mountain’s core allow the Celestial Demon race to occupy it?

"Lord, Dark Altar Lineage Late Stage Demon Cultivator and the Celestial Demon Lord are joining forces heading to Cold Pool Mist Valley, reaching in half a day!"

Meanwhile, Nangong Huan only ten thousand miles from the Celestial Yin Mountain Range, received the message, his expression unchanged. Clearly, he wasn’t surprised by the Celestial Demon Lord pledging allegiance to the Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect.

"What’s going on?"

Gu Qinghe beside him sensed anomaly and immediately asked.

Nangong Huan was unworried, "As I expected, the Celestial Demon Lord has already sided with them and is heading toward the main array core."

"The Celestial Demon Lord actually sided with the Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect?" Gu Qinghe’s expression changed slightly; the Celestial Demon Lord’s strength far surpassed theirs. Once pledged to the Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect, what does that entail? But seeing Nangong Huan’s calm demeanor, he couldn’t help but inquire, "Could it be that you’re prepared already?"

"That’s the Lu Family Corpse Ancestor." In Nangong Huan’s mind, the term External Golden Core immediately flashed. The Lu Family Corpse Ancestor’s own strength is already formidable, and with a Tier Three Middle Realm External Golden Core, dealing with the Celestial Demon Lord wouldn’t be a problem.

"Why are you so confident in the Lu Family Corpse Ancestor?" Gu Qinghe asked again, "Now the mountain array’s momentum can only be used to block the Demon Realm’s expansion. Using it to kill demons and monsters is impossible. Could the Lu Family Corpse Ancestor alone contend against two enemies?"

Nangong Huan smiled and nodded, "Gu Si Ming need not worry, with the Lu Family Corpse Ancestor, guarding the array isn’t a problem. Though no match for the Celestial Demon Lord and Late Stage Demon Cultivators’ alliance, it’s enough to hold out until we arrive.

We’ll reach the Celestial Yin Mountain Range in half a day, and Cold Pool Mist Valley in another half day. They can’t destroy the mountain array. Plus, it’s a chance to flank Dark Altar Demon Cultivators, forcing Anchaosheng to appear."

Gu Qinghe didn’t doubt Nangong Huan’s words, given Nangong Huan’s goals this time involve the True Spirit Demon Tree Seeds.

He absolutely wouldn’t gamble his plans.

Only seeing Nangong Huan’s certainty in the Lu Family Corpse Ancestor’s strength made him a bit curious.

Where did this Lu Family Corpse Ancestor suddenly appear from?

If possessing this level of strength, why was there no news before?

Nangong Huan ignored Gu Qinghe’s thoughts, immediately contacting Deng Lai, "Tell the Lu Family Corpse Ancestor, Gu Si Ming and I will definitely reach Cold Pool Mist Valley in a day."

After transmitting, Nangong Huan and Gu Qinghe sped up, rushing toward the Celestial Yin Mountain Range.

In less than half a day.

The Celestial Yin Mountain Range arrived.

After carefully examining the demon energy barrier covering the entire Celestial Yin Mountain Range, Nangong Huan suddenly produced a Magical Artifact Long Spear. The spear crackled with electricity as it struck, and the collision sound between spear and barrier echoed loudly.

Bang—

As the spear’s force dissipated, Nangong Huan looked at Gu Qinghe with a heavy expression, "This demon energy barrier is peculiar!"
